Grill Maestro

You have a couple chicken breasts sitting around in the fridge, a bored grill, and a hankering to fire up that bad boy and cook something. You’re a man, gosh darn it, so you have no patience for recipes containing more than two steps (remove from packaging, put on grill) or three ingredients (salt, pepper, chicken) so what are you to do? Here’s what the grill maestro would do:

1. Marinate your chicken breasts in Italian dressing for 15-30 minutes. (don’t put it in there for an hour and forget about it until tomorrow, it’ll be too much)
2. Season with your favorite blend of seasonings (be it salt & pepper, some paprika, or the ubiquitous Montreal Steak Seasoning).
3. Put on grill.

Now, that’s a little more than three ingredients and two steps (I did skip the ‘remove from packaging step’ so it’s a total of four steps) but I promise you the extra steps and ingredients are well worth the added effort.

If you are feeling especially adventurous… marinate in some olive oil and your blend of seasonings for a little while longer for a wholly different taste (especially if you’re not a fan of the mild sour flavor of the vinegar in the Italian dressing).
